Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2006 Hey, my dad has a plane like that. Cirrus SR-20. Dad's is a 22. Another one went down east of NYC earlier this year, but that guy deployed the parachute (pretty much every Cirrus has an actual parachute for the whole plane built into the top). Really fun to fly in one. Also, Bob wins the thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Masked Man of Mystery 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2006 This really sucks, and if I find out some dumb fan did this, I swear to God I will give up on sports. I say this as a Red Sox fan. RIP, another was taken from us before his time Huh? Did what? Lidle, crashed. In what way are you implicating a fan's involvement? I said IF. The thought just occurred to me, I was probably being stupid, and I'll admit that, but I wouldn't put it past some nutjobs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2006 Single-engine planes often use fuel that's light blue in color, so maybe an irate fan broke into his hangar and replaced it all with Windex. Or blue gatorade. Masked Man of Mystery, I've solved the case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheech Tremendous 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2006 Jesus fucking christ!!! I am in a state of shock. I cant believe he is dead. I just heard him doing a radio interiew on Mike and the Maddog yesterday. It's funny how life can end so easily. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family, his teammates and his loved ones. RIP Cory. Was this the interview were they ripped him for his attitude after he said that he was enjoying a nice day in New York? I heard that they went off him because he wasn't show the same pain from being eliminated that the fans of the team were. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest NYankees Report post Posted October 11, 2006 If Brian Cashman didn't trade for Lidle, he'd still be alive. Iggy we should all blame Cash-money. This is shocking, sad news. Cashman did go on record stating that he wouldn't have made the trade unless Lidle was included. He must be feeling very guilty and saddened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheech Tremendous 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2006 Confirmed now that it was Cory and his flight instructor. He made a mayday call shortly before the crash. Also should be noted that while he did make $17 million in his career, he is not eligible for the MLB pension plan because he crossed the picket lines during the '94 strike.
